It's got a view to die for. RooftopFarms atop a warehouse in Brooklyn grow more than 30 varieties of organic fruits and vegetables, including heirloom tomatoes, zucchini, aubergines and green onions.
While green roofs are nothing new, the sheer scale of the farm in the heart of one of the world's most congested cities is impressive.
Lisa Goode is the owner of Rooftop Farms.
[Lisa Goode, Owner, Rooftop Farms]:
"There's layers of drainage mat and separation fabric & mdash; it's all very technical stuff that the dirt actually just goes right on top of. And then you grow stuff in the dirt. But most importantly, a green roof has great environmental benefits such as storm-water reduction, which is a huge problem in New York City.
There's cooling for the building and if we can amass enough green roofs, hopefully it will help the heat island issue in New York City too."
The biggest problem with designing green roofs, Goode says, is convincing developers they are a good idea. She says there is a misguided perception that they can damage a building's roof. The reverse is true, she says. Greenery can protect a roof membrane from the damaging effects of the sun and cold weather.
Andy Darrell, Regional Manager of the Environmental Defense Fund, says another benefit of Rooftop Farms is that it lowers the carbon footprint caused by trucks used to transport food into the city.
[Andy Darrell, Regional Manager, Environmental Defense Fund]:
"About 70 percent of the air cancer risk in the air that we breathe comes from cars and trucks on our streets. So anything we can do to get trucks out of our communities and off of our crowded streets is a good thing."
Rooftop Farms is managed by a team of experienced farmers and volunteers. Neighbors often stop by and local restaurants get daily deliveries of fruits, vegetables and herbs. Ben Flanner, one of the farmers, is the delivery man.
Marlow and Sons, a neighborhood eatery, particularly likes the farm's heirloom tomatoes and mesclun greens. Sean Rembold is its Executive Chef.
[Sean Rembold, Executive Chef]:
"It is pretty amazing, when even though we can't get the volume maybe from the rooftop farm, to know that we can get fresh excellent vegetables… I could call right now — call Ben & mdash; and he would bicycle over something within the hour. So it's pretty amazing."
Rooftop Farms is a pilot project. It cost $60,000 to design and build. The project's goal is to bring down costs and to build more farms like it across New York City.

As urban populations continue to rise, innovators are looking beyond traditional farming as a way to feed everyone while having less impact on our land and water resources. Vertical farming is one solution that's been implemented around the world. Vertical farms produce crops in stacked layers, often in controlled environments such as those built by AeroFarms in Newark, New Jersey. AeroFarms grows a variety of leafy salad greens using a process called "aeroponics," which relies on air and mist. AeroFarms' crops are grown entirely indoors using a reusable cloth medium made from recycled plastics. In the absence of sun exposure, the company uses LED lights that expose plants to only certain types of spectrum. AeroFarms claims it uses 95% less water than a traditional farm thanks to its specially designed root misting system. And it is now building out a new 70,000 square foot facility in a former steel mill. Once completed, it's expected to grow 2 million pounds of greens per year, making it the largest indoor vertical farm in the world.

Situated on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City consists of five boroughs, each of which is a separate county of New York State. The five boroughs – Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island – were consolidated into a single city in 1898. With a census-estimated 2014 population of 8,491,079 distributed over a land area of just 305 square miles (790km2), New York is the most densely populated major city in the United States. As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world. By 2014 census estimates, the New York City metropolitan region remains by a significant margin the most populous in the United States, as defined by both the Metropolitan Statistical Area (20.1million residents) and the Combined Statistical Area (23.6million residents). In 2013, the MSA produced a gross metropolitan product (GMP) of nearly US$1.39trillion, while in 2012, the CSA generated a GMP of over US$1.55trillion, both ranking first nationally by a wide margin and behind the GDP of only twelve and eleven countries, respectively.

Paul and CathyNoble were recently visited by government regulators regarding their cow-share program. This interview was captured when his cow-share friends and fellow farmers banded together for mutual support on their April 26th, 2011 FarmGate Rally. Sponsored in part by Murray Bast, www.bio-ag.com

In 1996 there was only one place I wanted to work. AngelicaKitchen. Macrobiotic in it's roots, dedicated to organics, loyal to local farmers and foundational to the organic and vegan movement. It is the cornerstone of vegan cuisine, always pushing new boundaries while maintaining everything good about classic vegan food. Before the words, locavore, raw, artisinal and handcrafted made their way into our everyday vocabulary Angelica Kitchen was creating a food culture that transformed the culinary landscape we experience today. I was fortunate enough to serve 7-8 years as the pastry chef.
For this podcast I was joined by Leslie McEachern, the owner of Angelica Kitchen for 33 years. We were also joined by ChefScott Winegard the Director of Culinary Operations for Matthew KenneyCuisine and a long tome friend and co-worker of mine since the mid nineties at Angelica.
In this podcast we discuss:
- The early days of bringing organic vegan food to NYC in one of the most eclectic and turbulent neighborhoods downtown.
- Competing with drug dealers for pay phones.
- The challenges and art of running a socially responsible business.
- Connecting with plant spirits in the deep woods of North Carolina.

He's able to grow nearly two-thirds the vegetables for his restaurant- Bell, Book & Candle- because he doesn't rely on soil. Instead, Mooney and his partner Mick O'Sullivan installed 60 vertical tower hydroponic systems.

In New YorkCity, farming on a rooftop is not just an idea. Brooklyn Grange farms more than two and a half acres of rooftops in Brooklyn and Queens, and then sells what it produces to New Yorkers. A special soil mixture is used to minimize weight on the roofs and allow rapid drainage during heavy downpours. The farmed rooftops also house chickens and an apiary.

NYC Building Had a Large Rooftop Farm in 1904

Not only does New York City boast an impressive number of currently thriving rooftop farms, it had one all the way back in 1904.
Chances are when you hear the word 'farm' New York City isn't the first thing that pops into your head.
Not only does the urban wonderland boast an impressive number of currently thriving rooftop farms, it had one all the way back in 1904.
Back then, however, putting plants and animals on the roof was inspired by utopian visions, not righting over a century of environmental wrongs.
The farm was built atop the luxurious Ansonia Hotel located at 2109Broadway.
The building's owner, W.E.D. Stokes, wanted to make it as self-sufficient as possible -- he even had a cattle elevator installed.
In its prime, the farm was home to 500 chickens, ducks, a small bear, and a half a dozen goats.
Daily, fresh eggs were delivered to the residents and what was left was sold to the public at bargain prices.
His agricultural endeavor was short-lived as as the city authorities didn't share didn't share in his pastoral enthusiasm.
Prior to it being shut down in 1907, though, Stokes was tipped off that an unexpected city inspector was on the way. The warning gave him time to stash his son's pet pig and about 4 geese.

Chef JohnMooney believes so strongly in local food that for his latest restaurant in Manhattan's West Village, most of his produce travels just 60 feet from the building's roof to his kitchen.
He's able to grow nearly two-thirds the vegetables for his restaurant- Bell, Book & Candle- because he doesn't rely on soil. Instead, Mooney and his partner Mick O'Sullivan installed 60 vertical tower hydroponic systems.

Farming on a Rooftop | National Geographic

In New YorkCity, farming on a rooftop is not just an idea. Brooklyn Grange farms more than two and a half acres of rooftops in Brooklyn and Queens, and then sells what it produces to New Yorkers. A special soil mixture is used to minimize weight on the roofs and allow rapid drainage during heavy downpours. The farmed rooftops also house chickens and an apiary.

Rooftop agriculture: Farming NYC

Above the streets of New York, a new generation of farmers is doing something productive in spaces that normally go to waste.
One organic field (750 square metres) overlooking Manhattan is 15 metres above the Greenpoint sidewalk in Brooklyn. This is the first commercial rooftop agricultural venture in North America.
Locally produced food, green rooftops and a growing appetite for quality cuisine is blossoming in New York City.

NYC Building Had a Large Rooftop Farm in 1904

Not only does New York City boast an impressive number of currently thriving rooftop farms, it had one all the way back in 1904.
Chances are when you hear the word 'farm' New York City isn't the first thing that pops into your head.
Not only does the urban wonderland boast an impressive number of currently thriving rooftop farms, it had one all the way back in 1904.
Back then, however, putting plants and animals on the roof was inspired by utopian visions, not righting over a century of environmental wrongs.
The farm was built atop the luxurious Ansonia Hotel located at 2109Broadway.
The building's owner, W.E.D. Stokes, wanted to make it as self-sufficient as possible -- he even had a cattle elevator installed.
In its prime, the farm was home to 500 chickens, ducks, a small bea...

New York City Rooftop Farm

It's got a view to die for. RooftopFarms atop a warehouse in Brooklyn grow more than 30 varieties of organic fruits and vegetables, including heirloom tomatoes, zucchini, aubergines and green onions.
While green roofs are nothing new, the sheer scale of the farm in the heart of one of the world's most congested cities is impressive.
Lisa Goode is the owner of Rooftop Farms.
[Lisa Goode, Owner, Rooftop Farms]:
"There's layers of drainage mat and separation fabric & mdash; it's all very technical stuff that the dirt actually just goes right on top of. And then you grow stuff in the dirt. But most importantly, a green roof has great environmental benefits such as storm-water reduction, which is a huge problem in New York City.
There's cooling for the building and if we can amass enough green roofs, hopefully it will help the heat island issue in New York City too."
The biggest problem with designing green roofs, Goode says, is convincing developers they are a good idea. She says there is a misguided perception that they can damage a building's roof. The reverse is true, she says. Greenery can protect a roof membrane from the damaging effects of the sun and cold weather.
Andy Darrell, Regional Manager of the Environmental Defense Fund, says another benefit of Rooftop Farms is that it lowers the carbon footprint caused by trucks used to transport food into the city.
[Andy Darrell, Regional Manager, Environmental Defense Fund]:
"About 70 percent of the air cancer risk in the air that we breathe comes from cars and trucks on our streets. So anything we can do to get trucks out of our communities and off of our crowded streets is a good thing."
Rooftop Farms is managed by a team of experienced farmers and volunteers. Neighbors often stop by and local restaurants get daily deliveries of fruits, vegetables and herbs. Ben Flanner, one of the farmers, is the delivery man.
Marlow and Sons, a neighborhood eatery, particularly likes the farm's heirloom tomatoes and mesclun greens. Sean Rembold is its Executive Chef.
[Sean Rembold, Executive Chef]:
"It is pretty amazing, when even though we can't get the volume maybe from the rooftop farm, to know that we can get fresh excellent vegetables… I could call right now — call Ben & mdash; and he would bicycle over something within the hour. So it's pretty amazing."
Rooftop Farms is a pilot project. It cost $60,000 to design and build. The project's goal is to bring down costs and to build more farms like it across New York City.

Milk is New York’s top agricultural commodity, contributing more than $2 billion to the state’s economy. On our visit to the Empire State, we stopped at a third-generation dairy farm in the small town of Whitney Point. Whittaker Farms, which has been named a “Dairy of Distinction”, recently celebrated its centennial.

Watch the next episode about San Francisco becoming a zero waste city: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg3OA1s8-SI&list=UUJsSEDFFnMFvW9JWU6XUn0Q
As urban populations continue to rise, innovators are looking beyond traditional farming as a way to feed everyone while having less impact on our land and water resources. Vertical farming is one solution that's been implemented around the world. Vertical farms produce crops in stacked layers, often in controlled environments such as those built by AeroFarms in Newark, New Jersey. AeroFarms grows a variety of leafy salad greens using a process called "aeroponics," which relies on air and mist. AeroFarms' crops are grown entirely indoors using a reusable cloth medium made from recycled plastics. In the absence of sun exposure, the company uses LED lights that expose plants to only certain types of spectrum. AeroFarms claims it uses 95% less water than a traditional farm thanks to its specially designed root misting system. And it is now building out a new 70,000 square foot facility in a former steel mill. Once completed, it's expected to grow 2 million pounds of greens per year, making it the largest indoor vertical farm in the world.

Not only does New York City boast an impressive number of currently thriving rooftop farms, it had one all the way back in 1904.
Chances are when you hear the word 'farm' New York City isn't the first thing that pops into your head.
Not only does the urban wonderland boast an impressive number of currently thriving rooftop farms, it had one all the way back in 1904.
Back then, however, putting plants and animals on the roof was inspired by utopian visions, not righting over a century of environmental wrongs.
The farm was built atop the luxurious Ansonia Hotel located at 2109Broadway.
The building's owner, W.E.D. Stokes, wanted to make it as self-sufficient as possible -- he even had a cattle elevator installed.
In its prime, the farm was home to 500 chickens, ducks, a small bear, and a half a dozen goats.
Daily, fresh eggs were delivered to the residents and what was left was sold to the public at bargain prices.
His agricultural endeavor was short-lived as as the city authorities didn't share didn't share in his pastoral enthusiasm.
Prior to it being shut down in 1907, though, Stokes was tipped off that an unexpected city inspector was on the way. The warning gave him time to stash his son's pet pig and about 4 geese.

In 1996 there was only one place I wanted to work. AngelicaKitchen. Macrobiotic in it's roots, dedicated to organics, loyal to local farmers and foundational to the organic and vegan movement. It is the cornerstone of vegan cuisine, always pushing new boundaries while maintaining everything good about classic vegan food. Before the words, locavore, raw, artisinal and handcrafted made their way into our everyday vocabulary Angelica Kitchen was creating a food culture that transformed the culinary landscape we experience today. I was fortunate enough to serve 7-8 years as the pastry chef.

New York City Rooftop Farm

It's got a view to die for. RooftopFarms atop a warehouse in Brooklyn grow more than 30 varieties of organic fruits and vegetables, including heirloom tomatoes, zucchini, aubergines and green onions.
While green roofs are nothing new, the sheer scale of the farm in the heart of one of the world's most congested cities is impressive.
Lisa Goode is the owner of Rooftop Farms.
[Lisa Goode, Owner, Rooftop Farms]:
"There's layers of drainage mat and separation fabric & mdash; it's all very technical stuff that the dirt actually just goes right on top of. And then you grow stuff in the dirt. But most importantly, a green roof has great environmental benefits such as storm-water reduction, which is a huge problem in New York City.
There's cooling for the building and if we can amass enough green roofs, hopefully it will help the heat island issue in New York City too."
The biggest problem with designing green roofs, Goode says, is convincing developers they are a good idea. She says there is a misguided perception that they can damage a building's roof. The reverse is true, she says. Greenery can protect a roof membrane from the damaging effects of the sun and cold weather.
Andy Darrell, Regional Manager of the Environmental Defense Fund, says another benefit of Rooftop Farms is that it lowers the carbon footprint caused by trucks used to transport food into the city.
[Andy Darrell, Regional Manager, Environmental Defense Fund]:
"About 70 percent of the air cancer risk in the air that we breathe comes from cars and trucks on our streets. So anything we can do to get trucks out of our communities and off of our crowded streets is a good thing."
Rooftop Farms is managed by a team of experienced farmers and volunteers. Neighbors often stop by and local restaurants get daily deliveries of fruits, vegetables and herbs. Ben Flanner, one of the farmers, is the delivery man.
Marlow and Sons, a neighborhood eatery, particularly likes the farm's heirloom tomatoes and mesclun greens. Sean Rembold is its Executive Chef.
[Sean Rembold, Executive Chef]:
"It is pretty amazing, when even though we can't get the volume maybe from the rooftop farm, to know that we can get fresh excellent vegetables… I could call right now — call Ben & mdash; and he would bicycle over something within the hour. So it's pretty amazing."
Rooftop Farms is a pilot project. It cost $60,000 to design and build. The project's goal is to bring down costs and to build more farms like it across New York City.

Urban Farming: Growing Food in NYC

United Nations - Around 15 percent of the world’s food is now grown in urban areas, nourishing communities and highlighting the importance of agricultural development. Here’s how urban farming is taking off in New York City to promote food production through the education of its environmental benefits.
For more information, please contact:
Stina Nystrom - President UNSRC Gardening Club and Coordinator of the UN FoodGardens initiative - www.unfoodgardens.org
Gwen Schantz co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of Brooklyn GrangeLLC https://www.brooklyngrangefarm.com/

A tree may grow in Brooklyn, but an amazing urban farm flourishes on Governors Island. An incredible GrowNYC initiative is teaching inner city kids how to plant, water, harvest, and cook pesticide-free fruits, herbs, and vegetables.

As urban populations continue to rise, innovators are looking beyond traditional farming as a way to feed everyone while having less impact on our land and water resources. Vertical farming is one solution that's been implemented around the world. Vertical farms produce crops in stacked layers, often in controlled environments such as those built by AeroFarms in Newark, New Jersey. AeroFarms grows a variety of leafy salad greens using a process called "aeroponics," which relies on air and mist. AeroFarms' crops are grown entirely indoors using a reusable cloth medium made from recycled plastics. In the absence of sun exposure, the company uses LED lights that expose plants to only certain types of spectrum. AeroFarms claims it uses 95% less water than a traditional farm thanks to its specially designed root misting system. And it is now building out a new 70,000 square foot facility in a former steel mill. Once completed, it's expected to grow 2 million pounds of greens per year, making it the largest indoor vertical farm in the world.

URBAN FARMING NYC

This video was originally shot in August 2009. A student from The POINT's ACTION program ...

In 1996 there was only one place I wanted to work. AngelicaKitchen. Macrobiotic in it's roots, dedicated to organics, loyal to local farmers and foundational to the organic and vegan movement. It is the cornerstone of vegan cuisine, always pushing new boundaries while maintaining everything good about classic vegan food. Before the words, locavore, raw, artisinal and handcrafted made their way into our everyday vocabulary Angelica Kitchen was creating a food culture that transformed the culinary landscape we experience today. I was fortunate enough to serve 7-8 years as the pastry chef.
For this podcast I was joined by Leslie McEachern, the owner of Angelica Kitchen for 33 years. We were also joined by ChefScott Winegard the Director of Culinary Operations for Matthew KenneyCuisine and a long tome friend and co-worker of mine since the mid nineties at Angelica.
In this podcast we discuss:
- The early days of bringing organic vegan food to NYC in one of the most eclectic and turbulent neighborhoods downtown.
- Competing with drug dealers for pay phones.

RAWWINENew York 2016 - Lorenzo Corino on "Organic farming to obtain quality wines that are alive"
Believe it or not, soils are alive (or at least they should be) and vines, much like any other plant, can either be connected to this aliveness, or not, depending on the way in which they are farmed. In this talk, celebrated researcher Lorenzo Corino explains the importance of organic farming for the production of living wines with the potential to age.

Over centuries, the use of indoor spaces has changed to better suit people’s living habits and social trends. Montreal housing is no different. One wonders what kind of relationships Montrealers are developing with their homes in this day and age. In this program we will capture these unique perspectives by visiting neighbourhoods, buildings and houses, all of which have had recent adaptive transformations.
How Montrealers have adapted their city, neighborhoods and homes as a result of new social and economic trends.
Urban Agriculture : Citizen farmers, civic leaders and entrepreneurs are making urban agriculture a priority in an effort to make Montreal sustainable and visually apealing. From farms to stores, in this episode we follow an innovative path of growing and sealing food locally.

City Farmers

CityFarmers is a journey of hope down New York City's meanest streets
where inner-city residents have transformed the rubble and rats of
abandoned land burgeoning vegetable and flower gardens.
"City Farmers is about as inspiring as they come, a cornucopia of
hope, fulfillment and diversity." -- LA Weekly, Paul Malchom
In this collective narrative, the gardeners share stories about life
on both sides of the garden fence; from the struggle to remove drug
dealers and gangs, to the success of the gardens providing food for
the community, as well as empowering and educating neighborhood
children.
As the gardeners tend their rows, they remember childhood days on
farms down South, in Italy or Puerto Rico, while others, who've known
only pavement under their feet, find new directions for their futures.
These gardens are sources of pride in communities that previously had
none.
In their quest t find dignified and graceful solution for the
revitalization of their neighborhoods, New York's urban crusaders are
as triumphant as their seedlings - defying the broken landscape with
an unconquerable spirit and an intrepid will to survive.
Propelled by composer Jack DeJohnette's dynamic jazz score, City
Farmers is an intense investigation of the urban experience.
